Week 4 Story: Life After Being A Giant

Life After Being A Giant.... After being injured by Moses the Giant Og life changed for the worse. No longer was Og the ruler of the giants he was not just an average human being. Og soon realized that it would be more difficult to adapt to being a human versus a giant that was used to towering over everyone.  Og was stunned by the fact that Moses who was much shorter and not at as strong as Og was able to strike him and change him into being an average human. Og said to Moses "how could you do this to me, was there any other punishment you could have given to me". Moses responded with anger and frustration saying "no Og you broke your word to the Father Noah who saved your life when the floods were coming, after all,  you could have died years ago you are lucky you have been a giant this long"  Og soon realized that he was going to have to adjust to being a regular human.

Reading Notes Part B: The Jewish Fairytales

Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends by Gertrude Landa (1919).,  Link to Story I really liked reading the Jewish Fairy Tales. I grew up reading all of these Bible stories so it is interesting to read different twist that the fairy tales add to the stories. I think that it could be interesting to write about what would have happened if Sarah had chosen to accept Pharaohs offer and fall in love with him. I feel a little weird changing a Bible story, but in this instance I think it is just adding on to a fairytale. Another route that would be interesting to take would to expand more upon what Abraham was feeling when Sarah was at Pharaohs Palace. I think this one is a little bit less interesting to me than the Part A reading story that I read. I think that this one does not have as much detail you could expand upon.  ( Abraham and Sarah )

Reading Notes Part A: Jewish Fairy Tales

Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends by Gertrude Landa (1919).,  Link to Story  After reading the Part A Jewish fairy tales the one that stuck out to me is  "The Giant of the Flood". I really liked this story because it added an interesting touch to a story most of us all know very well. I think that it could be interesting to write more about the Giants Life after the flood. It would be interesting to write maybe about how he turned into a mortal and the struggles he had to face instead of him perishing after breaking his promise to Noah. I think that it would make for a good story if I wrote about how Og the king of the giants had to go from being king to just a regular person.  ( King Og )
